摘要:
A method for producing a metallic honeycomb configuration is described. The method includes forming a honeycomb body by stacking and/or winding layers of steel sheet containing chromium and aluminum resulting in the honeycomb body having channels through which a fluid can flow. The honeycomb body is introduced into a tubular jacket. Connections are formed between neighboring layers of steel sheet by thermal treatment. The honeycomb body is then cooled down. It is preferred for the layers of steel sheet to be provided with a rolling oil having a high carbon content before the forming of the honeycomb body, with the effect that a layer of carbon enhancing the sintering process is formed in the thermal treatment. The number of connections produced in individual regions can be further influenced by selective introduction of stresses or by stress relief.
摘要:
A process and a device are provided for manufacturing a honeycomb body from at least one metal foil constructed from at least two different layers, in particular from steel roll-bonded with aluminum. The metal foil is at least partly provided with a structure through the use of shaping, and is then layered or laminated or wound into honeycomb body. The metal foil is heat-treated with resistance heat generated within the foil before shaping. The heating is preferably carried out through the use of induction coils. In this way the capacity for cold shaping is increased and where required an oxide layer can be produced in a defined atmosphere. The invention reduces the energy and apparatus costs and permits economical manufacture of high-quality honeycomb bodies, in particular with microstructures increasing effectiveness.
